A LEAKED secret document reveals that
MI5 has discovered almost nothing about the worst terrorist attack against
Britain despite months of investigation.
After the biggest MI5 and police inquiry ever mounted, a secret report for
Tony Blair and senior ministers into the July 7 London bombings states:
“We know little about what three of the bombers did in Pakistan, when
attack planning began, how and when the attackers were recruited, the extent
of any external direction or assistance and the extent and role of any wider
network.”

The eight-page report, by the Joint Terrorism
Analysis Centre (JTAC), admits that MI5 still does not know whether the
attacks of July 7 and July 21 were linked and whether Al-Qaeda chiefs were
behind them.

“The last few weeks have seen few significant
developments . . . and we are not that much further on in our assessment,”
the report notes.

Referring to the MI5 codenames for both terror plots,
the report states: “There is still no intelligence to link the Stepford
(July 7) and Hat (July 21) attacks; we still do not know whether we are
dealing with an orchestrated campaign or coincidental/copycat attacks.

“We do not know how, when and with whom the attack
planning originated. And we still do not know what degree of external assistance
either group had.

On the possible role of Al-Qaeda chiefs, the report
says: “We still have no insight into the degree . . . of command and
control of the operation.”

It also says: “How long the 7/7 attack had been
planned remains unknown.” It adds: “We do not have any conclusive
findings from forensic examinations of the group’s bomb-making expertise.”
The report concludes that “we know little” about how suspects
operated.

The disclosure will anger victims’ relatives
and survivors of the July 7 attacks in which 56 people, including the four
suicide bombers, died.

This weekend Rachel North, an advertising executive
who was injured in the King’s Cross bomb, said: “I am disappointed
that they have not come up with any real leads. Most of the survivors want
to know not just what happened but why it happened. This absolutely underlines
the need for a transparent, independent public inquiry.”

The Tories are also calling for an independent inquiry
into what the intelligence services knew before the attacks. The leak of
a JTAC report, seen by The Sunday Times, is unprecedented and some within
the intelligence services are known to feel that there should be a public
inquiry.

Two years ago MI5 was given an injection of cash allowing
it to recruit a further 1,000 staff, on top of the 2,000 it already has.
Only last month the Treasury allocated a further £125m to the fight
against terrorism, most of which went, despite police complaints, to MI5.
It will be spent on recruiting hundreds more intelligence officers and opening
branches in eight British cities.

The MI5 report, entitled London Attacks: the Emerging
Picture, was delivered in October, but sources say the situation has changed
little since then. Apparent contradictions in the report reveal how the
intelligence services are struggling to make progress in their inquiries.
At one point it records that some “AQ (Al-Qaeda) associations”
are “emerging”; but it also says “there is no evidence
yet of Al-Qaeda involvement”.

Even those leads that the intelligence services have
managed to uncover are hedged. The report says that certain links between
terrorist groups are “plausible” and “probably the most
likely scenario”; and that it “strongly suspects” one
man’s visit to Pakistan was relevant to one plot.

Among the tentative findings it says that a network
of “Iraqi jihadis” is attempting to bring a terrorist campaign
to Britain. The spy agency says that it is investigating a group of “Al-Qaeda
facilitators” in the West Midlands. The men, led by a British citizen
of Syrian origin, are believed to be trying to extend the insurgency in Iraq
to Britain.
The main West Midlands suspect is said to have recruited at least one man
to lead a terrorist cell and sent him to a terror camp in Pakistan for training.

The suspect is connected to a number of extremist
groups and networks, including Al-Qaeda, as well as militant Kashmiri and
north African groups. It states: “He has played a major role in facilitating
support for the Iraq jihad.”

MI5 believes that he directed a second man, an Iraqi,
who arranged a trip to a Pakistan training camp for the leader of a separate
British terrorist cell.

The camp, which the cell leader visited over three
months in early 2005, may have been the same one where Mohammad Sidique
Khan, the alleged ringleader of the July 7 bombings, was trained. The report
“speculates” that both men may have been trained by Al-Qaeda
at the same time.

The second member of the group is said to have arrived
in Britain in autumn 2004. He worked on “jihad support” until
his arrest last January after intelligence suggested that he “may
have acquired weapons in support of some unspecified action in the UK”,
according to the report.

He has been detained by immigration authorities pending
his deportation to Iraq.

MI5 says the two men may have been working ultimately
for another West Midlands-based suspect who has links to Al-Qaeda in Pakistan.

The report reveals that the intelligence services have
found “growing evidence of a wider extremist network in West Yorkshire
associated with the 7/7 bombers”.

MI5 originally believed the July 7 gang had acted alone.
The report suggests this view has changed, but with no certainty: “There
is a distinct possibility that the Stepford Four were not acting alone and
that fellow accomplices are still at large.”

The report says the attacks were “likely”
to have been supported by Al-Qaeda operatives in Pakistan, revealing that
in May and June 2005, “there were repeated phone calls from public
telephone boxes in Pakistan to mobile telephones recovered at a ‘bomb
factory’ in Leeds” where the July 7 rucksack bombs were made.

It says the gang’s Pakistani contact “is
likely to have been providing support, advice and/or direction”.

The document reveals that MI5 is investigating the
significance of a training camp in northern Pakistan set up shortly after
Blair ordered British troops to join America in the invasion of Iraq. It
states that Khan — leader of the July 7 attacks and known to MI5 as
MSK — went there along with other British terrorists in July 2003
for training. But again MI5 can only speculate about his motive.

The leaked paper says: “(The camp) may have had
a role in Stepford, encouraging MSK to turn his sights away from Afghanistan
(his original intent) towards the UK.”

The leaking of the report is a further embarrassment
for Britain’s secret services. At the same time as MI5 has failed
to make any significant breakthrough in the London bombings inquiry, the
spying efforts of MI6 in Moscow blew up in its face last week.

The Russian authorities revealed how they had caught
British embassy staff using high-tech equipment hidden inside a fake rock
to communicate with agents.
